It's too early to get excited, Ottawa fans, but Daniel Alfredsson is working out near his home in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Slam Sports reports that Alfredsson is doing his part to get ready for what could potentially be another season in the NHL. Now, it's up to Senators GM Bryan Murray and Alfredsson's agent, J.P. Barry, to see if a one-year contract extension can be put in place.

Alfredsson, 39, hasn't made a decision on whether he'll play this season and the fact is, a labor stoppage could put those plans on ice anyway. But for Ottawa fans, the fact he's working out is a good sign.

Alfredsson is scheduled to make $1 million in the final year of his deal, Slam Sports reports.
